I like the most about living here was: There are always different conversations going on. You're talking to different people, meeting new people. There's no single one that stands out but just the memory of the “Sense of community”, when we would all come together and just be like one, big international family. And definitely the parties. Such as welcome parties, bye-bye parties. It is just the sense of community at the end of the night! Borderless House did really help a lot because I was the most worried about just being alone in a country where you don't understand anything with the language barriers. Such as the Borderless House staff would gather events to meet new people. My housemates have been very helpful as well. They would make a phone call for you, and go to the ward office with you. So those difficulties were solved due to my own research as well as the support of my housemates and the staff here.

ボーダーレスハウスは、国の違いを感じられるだけではなく、人と人の違いを感じて相互理解を深められるシェアハウスだと思います。国籍に限らず多様な人と関わることができるため、色んな価値観があることを知ることができました。その中で、沢山の深い話をして、お互いの将来の夢や目標を話して刺激しあったり、気付きを与えたり、とても意義のある時間が過ごせると思います

Living with thirteen other people made me more patient. Be aware that the house does not look like displayed on the website anymore. I'm thankful that most of the tenants at Kuramaguchi house were extremely welcoming and kind. I made great memories and hope to see some faces again some day.
